The Birthday Celebration: 2007

I just sent out about 40 - 50 emails, made a post on the Chinboard and am hitting a few other emails, before I wrap up THIS session of getting the word out. I'll be emailing more folks, this evening, to help get the word out.) But this Saturday is my birthday celebration. (I actually turn 32 at midnight. My actual birthday is on Sunday, the 21st.) Don't worry if you haven't gotten a personal invitation, yet. It's probably on it's way, today. (Although, it wouldn't hurt to mark your calendar, in anticipation of the invite!)

I'm gathering every good, conversationally-oriented person that I know, at the Town Hall Pub at 9pm for cocktails and dancing! My friend, Rich Cole, is deejaying the event . Rich spins nothing but funk, soul, jazz and blues. He subtly blends one infectious beat into another and you really can't help but shake your ass to what he's laying down. He's PERFECT for my birthday get together! And he's not one of those over-powering deejays. You won't have to yell over him to talk to someone at the bar.

At midnight, I'm stepping out of the party to go to the Playground to appear with Stinger at the Rene Duquesnoy benefit with International Stinger. But as soon as we're done with our set, I'm heading BACK to the Town Hall Pub for more drinking and dancing!

It should be a riot!

Another cool surprise from the weekend, is that an old college buddy, Wade, is driving into town, just to spend the weekend with me. So, he'll be drug around from bar to theater to bar, with the whole raft of well-wishers. It'll be fun to spend the weekend with him, too! We're still talking about possibly getting those tattoos!

So, good time are in the planning! In fact, why don't you mark your calendar and plan on making an appearance! It should be a blast!

Cheers,
Mr.B!


This is a pic from last year's birthday get-together. I was about 4 or 5 cocktails down, when someone slipped the karaoke deejay my name, requesting "Hit me baby, one more time!" I didn't know anything but the choruses, so I spoke the verses. Afterwards, a good friend described the performance as "Shatner-esque." I take that as a compliment. I am certain that similar shenanigans will be afoot on Saturday night!
(I added the signage, later.)
